Why Bother Cultivating Immortality at Eighty?

Also known as The Old Woman's Path to Immortality

[Ordinary-person cultivation · No System · Native-born · No romance · Slow burn]

Cultivation is a defiance of heaven. Everyone says that an ordinary mortal is too old to begin, and that it is simply impossible.

Cultivating immortality at eighty? What a joke!

But becoming an immortal begins with the heart, not the body.

Wars and bloodshed, severe droughts and locust plagues, starvation and bitter cold...

A body wracked with illness, teeth falling out, hair thinning, a life flickering like a candle in the wind...

She has endured life-and-death trials, borne the pain of an ailing body, and seen the depths of human treachery.

After eighty years of hardship, this unremarkable old mortal woman has already seen through the ways of the world and risen above them.

People live simply to stay alive.

Some live in peace, while others suffer to the bitter end.

Old Well wants nothing more than to enjoy her twilight years and live out her days in peace, yet that alone is enough to make her the envy of the ages.
